He's best known as a founding member of modern rock group Matchbox 20, but these days, Kyle Cook is looking for a new band. A bunch of them. All kinds of musical acts, in fact.

The Nashville-based musician, songwriter and producer has just launched Tennessee Recording Company. Cook aims for the Nashville record label to be home to a wide range of talent, and he's driving that point home with their first release: an EP from Nashville hip-hop artist Maurico is set for an August 12 release.

Matchbox 20 rose to fame with 1997 hit "Push." They released their fourth studio album, "North," in 2012.
